Darkwing Duck is an American animated superhero comedy television series. It first ran from 1991 to 1992 on both the syndicated programming block The Disney Afternoon and Saturday mornings on ABC. It features the adventures of the superheroic alter-ego of ordinary suburban duck Drake Mallard.
Darkwing Duck tells the adventures of the titular superhero, aided by his sidekick and pilot Launchpad McQuack. The show was the first Disney Afternoon series to emphasize action rather than adventure. Darkwing struggles to balance his egotistical craving for fame and attention against his desire to be a good father to Gosalyn.
